[Q] Question About Stock firmware build number

Hi,
A couple of months ago i rooted my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE and now i have decided i wanted to unroot.
I wanted to unroot so i could easily update my phone again through samsung update as it wont let me if phone is rooted.
I went into SuperSU and pressed Full Unroot and rebooted my phone. After reboot i had lost root as planned, but when i tryed updating through
the update on my phone it still said my device was rooted.
I decided i wanted to go back to original factory stock firmware through odin.
I am able to find my firmware but cant find the same build number.
i wanted to ask does the build number change when samsung bring out an update or will my build number always be the same?
Here my phone details
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE
Im on EE
UK
Model number: SM-N5005
Android version: 4.3
Baseband version: N9005XXUDMJ7
Build number: JSS15J.N9005XXUDMJ
Im trying to search the internet for the Original Stock firmware but all im finding on websites (Including this website)

PDA: N9005XXUDML3 (different to my Current)
Changelist: 2019540
Android: 4.3

i havent updated since october 2013 due to being rooted and i hope to go to kitkat soon.

Thank you for any help.
proberly a silly question but i need to ask before i do something wrong that could have been prevented.

go to www.sammobile.com download firmware you need flash with odin factory reset should be good to go

MJ7 --> M= 2013 J= October

M= 13ª letter
J= 10ª letter

You can upgrade from MJ7 to ML3 like I made from MJ7 to ML2.
Downgrade from MJ7 for one before not.

The build number is the firmware that come with. It will not harm your devices as long as the firmware is updated version. If your are updating to KitKat, you will not be able to downgrade to 4.3. Save your EFS file.

Thank you. I managed to find my MJ7 build and used odin and it worked.
but thank you for your comments i have a better undestanding for the future

You can go MJ7 > MK2 and return to MJ7 again also.

[Q] Update Problem (Still 4.3)

Hello
Since the release of kitkat I haven't been able to able update my device and I still have 4.3 version of android on my Note 3 SM-N9005.
Whenever I check for updates it says I have the latest and with kies it says the same thing or says SM-N9005 won't initialize. I heard that I can update manually with odin but I had some questions and fears:
First of all will flashing with odin trigger my knox counter and make it 0x1? I have the Knox app too and working with it keeping my secret information in it.
The other and the most important problem I have is that which frimware should I download? my baseband version is XXUBMI6, and my region (which I checked it from /system/csc/sales_code.dat) is XSI. I am a bit confused with all this stuff and don't know what to do
Thanks in advance for your help please tell me what to do.

1. Flashing the correct firmware for your device via ODIN DON'T trig KNOX counter. Be relaxed.
2. One of the best method for know your CSC (code of country) is rebooting in STOCK RECOVERY and look close the text: "Applied the CSC-code: XXX" like in the pic attached.

- Flashing the stock firmware via Odin will not trip the Knox counter, nor erasing your data.
- To find and download the correct firmware for your device:
Open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app > Menu > 'Firmware Browser'.
The latest one will be on the top of the list.

Flashing a stock firmware via Odin will not erase your apps.
I personally doesn't face with wifi and cell connection.

[Q] Lollipop Galaxy S5

Hello guys...
I am waiting for the Lollipop update on my galaxy S5 for months now and till date nothing has happened. Above all there's only about 10 variants of the SM-G900F which are actually in this situation actually out of 100s. I decided to flash it on my own using ODIN. Please can anyone who is more at ease with the process than me give me the procedure to do so ( I have flashed custom roms on other phones in the past).
I would also appreciate if you could give me a direct download link for the OS if ever you have it. I had seen them in this forum once but forgot where and which keywords to type.
And also and most importantly could you advise me about which versions will be compatible with my country's networks i.e Mauritius.

Hi,
I'm in Qatar and I've SM-N9005 with Baseband N9005XXUGNG1. Can I flash official update firmware from other countries like Saudi Arabia with firmware N9005XXUGBOEA?
I would really appreciate if someone could give me link to some kind of tutorial on reading firmware compatibility issues.
Regards

I have been trying to find an answer to this for a long while, but I just can't. There are some ROMs which are meant for 32 GB devices, and then there are some ROMs which are meant for 16 GB devices. If you download a ROM which is meant for 16 GB Note 3, then obviously you won't be able to flash it on a 32 GB Note 3. And the firmwares listed on sammobile.com don't say which are which!
So I have given up, when a new base pops up, I simply head over to the Alexandar's topic to see whether he has complied the newer version or not, and he does that so fast. That is as stock as a ROM can get, other than ROMs from sammobile.com, so I don't really bother any more.

Hi,
What model of phone do you have? The LTE SM-N9005? If so (and I hope someone could either second this or correct me if i'm wrong) I believe you could flash via odin (and you do not need to be rooted to do this) the lollipop update that O2 has. 5.0 is available for the UK via the sammobile website, so if the basebands remain the same and the phone is the same model, I believe you could just download the 5.0 update from sammobile and flash it via odin.
Since you would be flashing an official version of sammy's rom, you won't need to be rooted, nor have a custom recovery.
Cheers

so, you are using the sm-n9005, and the firmware u have is the same one as the firmware that the 02 UK version runs in 4.4.2.
Unless I'm mistaken, and if anyone sees I am please correct me, you could flash the 5.0 version with odin for o2 UK. I don't see why it wouldn't work, since it seems you have the same phone and firmware currently in 4.4.2

Your device is using of UK (with CSC: BTU). It still without Lollipop update. I recommend don't flash via ODIN any firmware and wait for future updates (via OTA) if you aren't rooted.
